Customer Reviews
Love the material covered!
I love these types of discussions. It's my favorite genre of literature and when colleges delve into serious discussions such as these I am enthralled. It helps to offer validity to the genre as being part of the literary canon.
Just terrific!
As a parent exploring children's books and literature these lectures have been wonderful for me. Giving me a greater understanding of how children's books are created, what to look for and be aware of when selecting books for my kids. Thank you David for these!
